NEW: Dario Amodei has said that Al systems " may be deserving of important rights." Anthropic's top safety researchers argue Al may be
"justified in going rogue." Experts at Google and OpenAl worry about a digital "slave trade." So do some government officials.
Once relegated to science fiction, the idea of "Al welfare" has become shockingly mainstream at some of the most powerful companies in the world. It is changing the way Al research is conducted and the way models are programmed. And critics say these changes have raised the odds of all kinds of catastrophic scenarios-including the ones these companies are warning about.

ebert on cage: still true

There are often lists of the great living male movie stars: De Niro, Nicholson and Pacino, usually. How often do you see the name of Nicolas Cage? He should always be up there. He's daring and fearless in his choice of roles, and unafraid to crawl out on a limb, saw it off and remain suspended in air. No one else can project inner trembling so effectively. Recall the opening scenes in "Leaving Las Vegas." See him in Scorsese's "Bringing Out the Dead." Think of the title character in "The Weather Man." Watch him melting down in "Adaptation." And then remember that he can also do a parachuting Elvis impersonator ("Honeymoon in Vegas"), a wild rock 'n' roller ("Wild at Heart"), a lovesick one-handed baker ("Moonstruck"), a straight-arrow Secret Service agent ("Guarding Tess") and on and on.
He always seems so earnest. However improbable his character, he never winks at the audience. He is committed to the character with every atom and plays him as if he were him. His success in making Charlie Kaufman a neurotic mess and Donald Kaufman a carefree success story, in the same movie, comes largely from this gift. There are slight cosmetic differences between the two: Charlie usually needs a shave, Donald has a little more hair. But the real reason we can tell the twins apart, even when they're in the same trick shot, comes from within: Cage can tell them apart. He is always Charlie when he plays Charlie, always Donald when he plays Donald. Look and see.

When my son was about 8 he could read any text we put in front of him but he he wasn’t a book reader until he discovered the Treehouse books. Now if he’s stuck in a book he wouldn’t notice if his feet caught fire.
